Realism in video games tends to make them boring as fuck. It can work in tactical games, but in an action shooter it only takes you away from it all. What's next? Are you gonna get random leg cramps where you have to bend down and repetively mash "X" to make your character massage his calf? Some degree of it is good, but it's when devellopers go all out to make everything too life-like that games start feeling dull. Real life is boring, that's the whole reason we play games. There's much more interesting gameplay to be had in stylized, semi-realistic games. This is why UT99 and Quake 3 are, to this day, the best shooters out there.
